What property is taxed? All real estate and personal property are taxable unless law has exempted the property (O.C.G.A. 48-5-3.) “Real Property” is land and generally anything that is erected, growing or affixed to the land; personal property is everything that can be owned that is not real estate. “Personal property” typically consists of inventory and fixtures used in conducting a business, such as boats, aircraft, farm machinery, motor vehicles and mobile homes. The contents of your household are not normally taxable unless they are used for a home-based business.

The Coweta County Tax Assessor's office provides property tax assessment data to the City of Newnan for property tax billing and collection purposes. Therefore, any assessment discrepancies have to be addressed directly with the County. Owners of residential and/or commercial property located in the City of Newnan have to pay both City and County taxes to each agency individually.

The Finance Department issues annual personal and real property tax bills via an import of tax assessment data obtained from the Coweta County Tax Assessor's Office each year.
